OK, cool. I'm really looking forward to doing this, it'll be great fun. But it won't before at least a week. I have no idea what color bin the P4s I ordered from Cutter are though. I'm leaning towards soldering a copper plate to the CreePCB and then sanding it down to the proper thickness, should be a lot easier than your coin-mod due to the softness of the copper. The copper plates from SS are about 1mm thick, so it looks like I should take perhaps 0.5mm off (1mm minus 0.3mm minus whatever more you sanded off to tighten the beam (I estimated 0.2mm)). The problem with doing it this way, is that there is no way to make adjustments once the Cree is soldered onto the copper plate. That's why I really appreciate your measurements.
